Description: When a violent thunderstorm knocks down the giant mesquite tree in the town square, some of the villagers see it as only worth firewood.  The woodcutter, however, sees it as material for carving a beautiful gift for the children of the town.

Cuando una fuerte tormenta tumba el gran árbol de mezquite en la plaza principal, algunos de los vecinos piensan que  el árbol sólo es bueno para leña.  Sin embargo, el leñador ve su gran valor y piensa usarlo para hacer un regalo hermoso para los niños del pueblo.
